It’s that time again! The past two years I’ve made a list of resolutions with decreasing success in accomplishing said list. The first year I did great; the second, not so much. This year, I’m keeping it short and sweet. I want to finish the first draft of my work-in-progress, and I want to eat […]

I think I’ve finally done it. After a couple of dismal attempts at starting a new novel from a ghost of an idea, I have settled on a more solid concept that, while not the most original (and what really is original these days after all), has promise. Now, I may be jumping the gun, […]

It happens. You get excited about something that you love, and you want to share it with the people you know. We’ve all done it. But what do you do when the people you care about don’t care about the same things you do? Nothing. You don’t do a damn thing, and I’ll tell you […]

Finally! Work week is done, and I have three and a half days off until it’s back to the grind. Yesterday afternoon and this morning weren’t too bad, so I feel more relaxed already. I know come Monday it will be almost back to “normal” (translation: hectic as all get-out), but I’ve been looking forward […]

Rory, Rory, Rory. What am I going to do with you? I’ve tried feeding him later at night so he’s not as hungry in the morning. I’ve tried closing him out of the bedroom at night. I’ve tried ignoring him. I’ve tried holding him down so he can’t knead on my throat. But the cat […]

Is there a medicine to take away weird dreams? If not, I feel there should be. As any regular reader of this blog may know, I have troubles sleeping sometimes. Okay, often. Okay, almost every night. On top of that, I also usually have extremely strange, vivid dreams. I am so tired of being tired. […]

It’s getting to that time of year: the cold has arrived, and my cat has noticed. We keep the apartment warm enough, but as I’m sure you know sometimes that doesn’t cut it. The cold just seeps in. Thankfully, my cat and I have developed a somewhat symbiotic relationship, in which he warms himself by […]

It’s the second biggest thing on the Internet right now: Don’t spoil Star Wars!!! The biggest thing, of course, being Star Wars itself. Basically, if you post spoilers about the movie, you’re a jerk. No ifs, ands, or buts. People don’t want to know all the details of a blockbuster movie before they see it, and if […]

As I get ready for work today, I’m both dreading it (I didn’t sleep well) and looking forward to it. Why? Because I’m learning something new! One of the things I love about my day job is that there is the constant opportunity to learn and keep my mind fresh. Healthcare is always changing, and […]

Some mornings I have to get up early for work. And some mornings, there’s Rory. My cat does not seem to understand the concept of allowing me to sleep past 2:30 or 3:00 a.m. Every morning, he at least attempts to get me to wake up around that time, though sometimes I can fend him […]
